D is for Dadpe Pohe

Dadpe Pohe is quicker to put together than a packet of pot noodles. It’s a great brunch or tea recipe and another one from my Aji’s (grandmum) repertoire.

Thursdays were the days that my Aji caught up with her friends. They met as a large group, discussing the latest books and often inviting some of the authors for a talk; organizing poetry writing competitions, cookery competitions and even an annual cultural programme that included staging a play, a music recital and sometimes even a dance performance. Top marks for enthusiasm and community spirit!

On these days cooking was a chore, to be wrapped up as quickly as possible so that she could get to the club on time.

Dadpe Pohe could be rustled up in under 10 minutes and were often on the menu.

I still love them! They always make me wish that when I am old as she is, I will retain that joie de vivre.

That looks so delicious, but as i am allergic to all milk products, and made ill by most spices, my ability to taste and savour such deliciousness is very limited! Oh, i wish i could! ~Liz, visiting form the A-Z http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
